Epic Pastures

Epic Pastures are Katahdin sheep breeders based in Farmville, VA, Prince Edward County and the Central Virginia region near Richmond. They have been raising Katahdin sheep for several years and hold membership in the American Katahdin Sheep Association, following recommended health protocols for parasite management and genetic screening. The flock grazes on rotating pastures and is provided with sheltered housing during harsh weather, a routine that supports strong growth and resilience.

Robert and Maggie Allen place emphasis on early gentle handling, allowing lambs to develop confidence and sociable traits from their first days. Visitors often remark on the calm nature of the sheep and the meticulous record-keeping that guides each breeding decision. Their breeding selections focus on hardiness and maternal instincts, traits that align with the breed’s reputation for low-maintenance care and quality wool. They source supplementary feed from local grain mills to support balanced nutrition throughout the year.
